Bodega Amalaya
Valle Calchaqul, Salta, Argentina
14% abv
Blend: Malbec blend
Malbec, Cab. Sauv., syrah, tannat
Amalaya means ‘hope for a Miracle’
On the bottle: “Cherry and boysenberry with nuances of flowers and white pepper, while the palate is full and long with hints of vanilla…”
Appearance: dense purple with a purple rim
Flavors: sweet black cherry with a sweet vanilla cream swirling through; some light dark berries – like boysenberry or mulberry and they are juicy,
This does not make me think of a Malbec. It’s nice and interesting.
Mouthfeel: kind of creamy, smooth, tannins are under control and the acidity is nice.
The next two days the mouthfeel developed a leathery feel and it was not as sweet.
To the Point: Looking for an interesting wine this is decent for the price. Looking for a good Malbec there are better ones out there. Open the bottle and let it stand for a couple of hours and then cork it and serve it the next day.
